I was thinking about updating a few days later but since it's the 29th, a date which comes only four years once, I will write a post today whether I have inspiration or not.

I started this blog in October 2004, which was also a leap year but I already missed the 29th February in that year. So, this will be my first entry on this rare day. =D

One In A Million final will be aired tonight. Sadly, I have to watch the recorded version for the beginning of the show since I will be having the tutorial class tonight. I want Ayu to win! To me, celebrities who participate in reality talent shows are peoplw with thick skins. Stealing the limelight from the rookies when they already have their share of fame. What a disgrace to themselves!

It's not my business anyway to care about who has thick skins and who does not.

Although mechanical pencils are invented many years ago, some things just do not change.

Kids nowadays are supposed to be tech-savvy but there are just some that still cling onto the old tradition. For example:

Using a pencil till it's that short.

It's remarkable, isn't it? I don't think I can use a pencil until it's that length. I remember throwing pencils away when they were still quite long, probably double that length.

I feel even more ashamed when I look at this one.

If I were to be that particular pencil, I would be very proud. My task to stain the paper/change thoughts into written form is well achieved.

I can hold the pencil in no other way.

As long as the lead is still in existence, the pencil is not useless. I respect kids who know the true value of a pencil.

I thought Johnny Depp would get the Oscar for his leading role in Sweeney Todd. But then and again, there were really tough competitors in that category. At least the movie won an Oscar for the Best Art Direction. =D

This is one of my favourite horror flicks which I remembered watching many, many years ago. I actually wanted to watch it again a few years back but I just couldn't remember the title. All I remember was, there were several children who had psychic powers to control humans using their eyes.

Once upon a time, there lived a prince high up behind thick walls. He was somewhat beautiful and precious to his royal family. However, he was never happy. How can anyone be happy living trapped all his life? Mr. Prince longed for his true love to set him free.

'I'm not Rapunzel. Why am I locked up the same way?'

Days became weeks and weeks became months. His true love never came. But fate is a funny thing.

After several years trapped in his lonely 'cell', the maid finally took him out to have a taste of Mother Nature. That was the very first time he felt joy in his heart. Then, he saw her. Right at the other end of the field, she stood there watching him silently. They ran towards each other but not for long, they were separated again. Mr. Prince thought he found his true love but why stop him right then? He thought he was happy being a free being. He thought that the happiness would stay when he met his true love.

'I'm so happy that I am no longer a prisoner! I am also a prince in love. What more can I ask?'

He was wrong though. So, so wrong. The next moment he knew, he was back in his 'cell'. Help! Free me!

And you know who his true love is? Well, sort of.

She even drew a mole on her face to be more attractive since the eyebrow was not enough to unleash her outward beauty.

I want to find Mr. Prince!

Crystle, forget him. He won't remember you anyway. Especially when he knows you are neutered.

I forgot how long it has been since I've eaten a sausage bun which is so cute and tiny like this.

MINI SAUSAGE BUN!

This is the front view of the bread.

Just look how tiny it is. The sausage within is quartered and cut to the length of the bread.

The back view of the bread

Unlike the bread of the normal size, this mini sausage bun is way easier to eat. Firstly, you do not need to open your mouth too wide to bite the bread. You just need to pop it into your mouth and munch away!

Secondly, it contains less calories. This is a very good meal especially for girls who wish to go on diet. You see, smaller portion of bread means less carbohydrate. Less carbohydrate means less calories, no? =D

This is a belated entry of Valentine's Day which, of course, I celebrated happily. Not exactly V-day for me but it's Single Awareness Day a.k.a. S.A.D. that I really celebrated.

I am not sad as the acronym said. Being single is good for me. Yup, I feel very normal. Perfectly healthy. And happy. And I am not jealous whatsoever. I don't know why but V-day has no effect on me.

I still ate like normal, slept like any other day and did my favourite things as usual. And BOOM!

The clock struck twelve like any other day. Another Valentine's Day burnt together with the RMs most guys had to spend to keep their 'overly-pampered' other half happy for the rest of the day.

I might be a little late but it's still not to late to wish every person in the world who knows the meaning of love to have a Valentine year ahead. May you have LOVE all year round! Everyone needs love. Especially God's love.

P/S: I am not S.A.D. because I have the greatest Person to love me up above. =D

Whenever there's a birthday, there'll be a birthday cake. What about Humanity Day or the day known widely as yan yat among the Chinese? We don't buy cakes to celebrate this special occasion.

This is what we had.

Yee Sang

The whole dish is made up of many, many ingredients like carrots, cucumbers, parsley leaves, jellyfish, sour plum sauce and some others that I don't know of. It's eaten RAW. That is why it's called 'sang' in Cantonese.

If the yee sang is supposed to be eaten after it's cooked, it'll then be call yee suk instead. 'suk' means cooked in English.

WARNING: Below is a picture of me being gluttony. I love to eat so, so much.

Angpao-collecting days will soon come to an end. I don't like it. If this is the way to earn easy money, I want it to last the whole year round.

Today is the 7th day of Chinese New Year which also means the birthday of every human being on earth according to the Chinese. So that also means I have 3 birthdays in a year: The Gregorian Birthday, The Lunar Birthday and the Seventh Day of the Lunar Year.

It'a so good to have birthdays right? However, I am only celebrating the Gregorian one as the date is fixed every year. There's once when I only have 2 birthdays a year because the Lunar and the Gregorian birthdays were on the same date.

Enough about my birthdays. Just want to wish everyone I know and don't know HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY! It's Humanity Day, so let's celebrate it!

I should have a lot to write about my CNY celebration and the surprising thing is, I don't seem to be able to write all out. Too much to write probably, or maybe, I just can't remember what to write anymore. Too much carbs and fats is not healthy for you. I am a living proof.

The 50th Grammy Awards has just ended. I don't know much about the Western musics as I did not keep myself up-to-date with the newest musics. I find them noisy. Maybe there's one or two that are nice, but everyone loves noisy songs than melodious ones.

I guess the world has changed, that's all.

My grandma just went back to KL this morning and I was so relieved. Totally good riddance. I do not hate her. It's just that she is pretty annoying. Nothing more. I think that's what grannies do. Blabbering non-stop about things we are uninterested in yet we must listen to escape from being labelled as 'rude'.

One good point though. She gave me a birthday present. I guess that's enough to stop me from increasing her bad points. =D

In the meantime, the angpao collection is still in progress slowly. I still have a lot of cookies at home.

This is what I call an EMERGENCY MEAL. This afternoon, dad called home to tell us that he will not be able to come back on time to take us out for lunch. He asked us to go out on our own but I did not want to eat out so this is what my sis and I came up with.

Some instant noodles with mom's recipe to make it delicious + fried eggs + nuggets.

Everything is just a fry away!

It's a rather pitiful meal, right? Yeah, I know.

***

All of a sudden, we received so many/much CNY goods from friends. I don't think we will be able to finish them so I hereby invite all friends who know where I live to come and help me do a favour.

ALL FRIENDS ARE INVITED TO EAT AND DRINK AT MY PLACE DURING CNY. FOOD WILL BE BOUNTIFUL.

This is not a joke. I am sincere and serious about this invitation.

Seriously, this year is such a fantastic year and we are so blessed with so much food. All we bought is just some can drinks from Giant. You can see how much we actually saved, right?

Friends, you can come to my house at any date between 7 February to 21 February. But please call beforehand just in case I might be out. Then you will have to face Crystle's wrath. She hates strangers (strangers here means people she has not seen before). Even if you are a close friend, she would attempt to bite you and scare you away.

No fear! Just inform me before you come and I will guarantee you a secure entry into my humble home.

The eyebrow-tattoo is in the trend among dogs too! Since they don't have money to get a professional to help them with they eyebrow-less eyes, here is what they will do. Absolutely free-of-charge.

Now that I have eyebrow, I am satisfied. I feel more human.Actually I don't know what Crystle did to her left 'eyebrow'. Why is there only one side done? Probably she has no mirrors to check on her brows or she has no money to do the right side.

One thing for sure, her newly grown eyebrow IS ABSOLUTELY NOT MY DOING. I am innocent.

Everyone in the business world knows this, 'Maximise profit, minimise cost'. But I am totally shocked that some people would do such a thing to maximise profit.
